The inspiration for this knitalong is Pam Allen and Ann Budd's Lace Style, a new book about knitting lace with 21 inspired patterns from some of the country's most talented and inventive knitwear designers. Members of this KAL are encouraged to share their own creative versions of the patterns as well as their tips and suggestions for yarn substitions. We hope these patterns will give you new ways to think about knitting lace.

Hi all

Hi all.I'm new to this KAL and new to KALs and blogging in general. I'm making the Katharine Hepburn Cardigan in Knitpicks Shine Sport, color is Violet. I'm about one inch from finishing the back piece and already about two inches into the front left half. I thought it would be fun to share my progress and see what other people are doing with the designs from this book. I am loving this sweater, so much so that I might make another one in wool later as a colder weather sweater. I'll post pics as soon as I get them off my camera, and figure out how to post them.
